Trump l-a întrebat pe Xi Jinping dacă vrea să cumpere arme americane, deși legislația SUA interzice strict acest lucru, spune ambasadorul SUA
U.S. Ambassador David Perdue revealed that Trump asked Xi Jinping if China wanted to buy American weapons, despite U.S. laws prohibiting such sales. This statement comes amid rising tensions regarding Taiwan's security. The White House and State Department quickly denied any plans to sell arms to China, emphasizing the legal restrictions. Trump's commitment to Taiwan's defense has been questioned, especially after he previously suggested using military aid as leverage in negotiations with China. Beijing opposes U.S. arms sales to Taiwan, viewing it as a separatist province. Following the recent summit, Trump did not reiterate the arms offer, maintaining that Xi understands his stance on Taiwan.
